Imagine waking up to that result from this thread tomorrow. What a nicer, fairer world it would be.

Brexit will be the dominant act of this parliament by some distance. I understand why leave voters are keen on Corbyn as he has always been a eurosceptic, I'm just not sure why remain supporters are so in love with him.

Can't speak for the rest of them as I voted leave ,but I quite liked the manifesto he put out and to be honest would vote for a nobody. To keep the Tories out, well maybe not Tim farron, but anybody else.

Er, cos of the rest of the stuff he stands for maybe?

Been a bit underwhelming hasn't he? I can understand why Corbyn hasn't touched on Brexit much, and in many ways it's very sensible. Whilst you could probably say that 'most' Tories are leavers, the Labour vote seems much more evenly split between leave and remain, so he couldn't go big on Brexit without alienating a big part of the voter base. Hence why it's been played down as much as possible, but it does nonetheless define the next parliament, and given that I can't help feeling the electorate have been massively short changed by the lack of any real debate on the matter.

Which is fine, if you're (the royal you, not you specifically) happy to suppress all of the things that mattered to you a year ago then I won't argue with that.

If corbyn got in I think you would get a different type of brexit, .maybe he could offer a different path, more people driven than business driven than the Tories version?

 

[Mrk]

All policies for at least the next 15 years are going to be defined by brexit. The sad truth is, it's becoming more evident that we're going to be a poorer country because of brexit, which means there won't be as much money for the NHS, welfare etc in the long term.

How can anyone vote labour? Better to go for a massive conservative majority and labour can rebuild from scratch.

I cant fathom which demographic would vote labour...

Hard to say isn't it? May has been rubbish in the fragrant lack of any detail apart from the 'we need a stronger hand' garbage. To his credit, Corbyn has given more details around the rights of EU citizens etc. but when you consider the relative importance of Brexit vs terrorism/nuclear deterrent, and the amount of debate time each has received, it's been utterly absurd.

Because remainers love their country more than brexiteers hate foreigners and the Labour manifesto is what is best for this country.

Incredible that you think it's ok to generalise 17.5million people as hating foreigners and still perceive yourself as the tolerant side in the debate.
